The Confidence to Change

With Buddhist Teacher David Hoffner

Tuesdays ~ 7-8:30pm

The purpose of engaging in Buddhist meditation practice is to bring about positive change -- letting go of painful states of mind and cultivating love, compassion, and wisdom. But if our practice lacks confidence we will not experience real transformation. In this series we will learn how to overcome a limited view of ourselves and apply Buddha’s teachings on The Perfection of Effort to empower our practice with joy and the confidence to change.

July 6, 13, 20, 27, Aug 3, 10 ($10 per class, Free for members of DMC)

Finding the Hero Within

with Buddhist Teacher David Hoffner

Tuesdays ~ 7-8:30pm

In this series we will look at what it means to become a Bodhisattva, one who is striving to fulfill their full potential in order to free others from suffering. If each of us takes responsibility for finding the hero within and engages in the actions of a Bodhisattva, we can bring enormous benefit and transformation to our world. Everyone welcome regardless of background or experience.
